During the 1970s, the synthesizer spurred many fundamental shifts in the mechanisms of music-making. Along with the popularization of the musical aesthetics established by both the punk and post-punk movements, the synthesizer led to ground-breaking effects and processes. Dark Waves examines the role of the synthesizer in shaping the dark and dystopian sound of electronic music in 1970s Britain and is the first collected musicological analysis of The Normal, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and John Foxx. Many of these acts, dark in content, presentation and manner, would go on to influence the more commercial sound of 1980s synth pop, which in turn shaped mainstream electronic music today.
Dr. Neil O'Connor is Electronic Music Producer and academic at DMARC (Digital Media Research Centre), Dept. of Computer Science, University of Limerick, Ireland. Neil has published with Bloomsbury, Taylor & Francis, Routledge, and Cambridge University Press.
